The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

Bai Chen Feng knew that he would be of no help if he remained, but at the same time he noticed the intent from Little Yan's words; was it a display of concern towards him, worried that he might get hurt?

He felt a sweetness in his heart and made the decision. It would be great if Little Yan successfully experienced a rebirth and if she failed, he would also give up on living. Since they cannot be born together, they might as well die together!

Bai Chen Feng walked away as instructed after making the decision. The phoenix egg took in its last breath of vital energy and circulated it inside its body.

The dark red markings on the eggshell started to glow with heat and light, causing the plants around the mulberry tree to all turn into ashes.

Blazing energy filled the entire valley.

The clouds then slowly started covering up what was initially a clear sky and the clouds cover only got thicker and darker. Violet red lightning could be seen traversing through the clouds and the soft rumbling of thunder was audible.

The appearance of the rumbling thunder caused the phoenix egg to release a powerful dark red light that covered the entire valley in dark red.

Bai Chen Feng was now at the most faraway secluded corner of the valley, yet he could feel the scorching heat in the air, and it was hard to breathe.

The light turned brighter and brighter, forcing any onlookers to turn away. Bai Chen Feng could only close his eyes while trying his best to protect himself from the rising heat with demon energy.

Sounds of a hundred birds crying seemed to be appearing within the valley. Yet it felt like it was the mild 'crackling' sounds of things being burnt. The spirit energy of heaven and earth started moving madly, turning into raving winds.

Bai Chen Feng could not help but open his eyes, only to see a five-coloured light entering his vision. It was too bright and the most radiant point was underneath the mulberry tree.

The egg was wrapped in light, the eggshell was slowly cracking along those dark red markings. A small red furry bird head appeared out of the crack.

During regular moments, the tough eggshell would not even chip if it was struck against a rock. However, the moment the red bird's head peeked out of the egg, the eggshell turned into dust immediately.

The palm-sized red bird has a pointy beak that was yellow like a budding willow and a body that was covered in down feathers. Its eyes were like black marbles; pure and innocent. When it flapped its wings, some subdued golden lights were visible. Its feet were of a dark gold colour while its claws displayed a cold, sharp glint.

Bai Chen Feng was overjoyed when he saw Little Yan breaking out of the egg. Just as he took a step forward…

A shocking thunder came from the sky, heavy dark clouds have already covered the entire valley. Violet red lightning was jumping through the clouds and was gathering together.

"Careful…" Bai Chen Feng only managed to shout one word when a bolt of powerful lightning shot down from the clouds.

He only saw Little Yan seemingly take a peek at him before being enveloped entirely by the violet lightning.

The lighting wrapped around the newly hatched little phoenix tightly and together, it formed a giant violet-red lightning ball.

Up in the sky, several more bolts of lightning as thick as a man's arm started raining down, striking the mulberry tree before flowing down and merging with the violet-red lightning ball.

Each lightning strike could cause the mulberry tree trunk width to shrink by an inch and its height to reduce by one foot, while the lightning ball underneath it to expand by one circle.

Bai Chen Feng wanted to run over to the egg. However, the lightning was a Nine Heaven Tribulation Lightning, it has a natural suppression effect towards the spirit energy within demons. This made every step taken by him to be filled with difficulty.

He could only watch as the lightning fell continuously without any signs of ending.

The tribulation lightning went on for nine days and nights. The spirit energy within the valley has been scattered by the strikes, turning the area into a desolate wasteland without even a single weed to be found.
